About this title

From the Back Cover:

Patient, stylish, and incredibly suspenseful. Lee Child

Magnificent, thoroughly unnerving . . . I dare you to look away. Justin Cronin

Caleb Maddox is a San Francisco toxicologist studying the chemical effects of pain. He s out drinking after a bad breakup when a hauntingly seductive woman sits down at his side. He talks to Emmeline over absinthe, but their encounter is fleeting. She brushes her lips on his ear and disappears. He must find her. As Caleb scours the city, he begins helping the city s medical examiner with a serial-murder investigation. Soon the search for the killer entwines with Caleb s hunt for Emmeline, and the closer he gets to each, the more dangerous his world becomes. A wicked mix of Poe, The Silence of the Lambs, and Vertigo, * The Poison Artist spins a thrilling tale of obsession, damage, a man unmoored by an unspeakable past, and a woman who offers the ultimate escape.

A totally new take on the mystery-thriller genre . . . Fresh and unpredictable. The writing is top-notch . . . Grade: A. Cleveland Plain Dealer

Genuinely scary, in the very best way, and nastily twisty, also in the very best way . . . Hypnotic. Guardian
